Chapter 4 Death with Regret
Yi Ying only felt that it was difficult to breathe, her consciousness gradually blurred, and the great fear under the pressure of the water was also washed away by the danger of death. www.biquge.infoSuddenly, it seemed that someone had caught her, but she couldn't open her eyes and fainted.
When I woke up again, I saw a different scene. A young woman wearing a Lingyun bun and a vermilion embroidered beaded skirt sat on the edge of her bed and bowed her head to make female red. The young woman is in the first snow of the skin race, her eyes are like autumn water, and she is a very dignified beauty.
Seeing that she was awake, the young woman smiled and said, "You are awake, it's great, you have to tell Grandpa Guo quickly." Seeing her confused face, the young woman was also a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Don't you know? ”
Isn't it Lian Jingqian, who cleared up his grandfather's grievances and regained his ancestor's iron coupons? She did know him, but it was because he sneaked into the Hou Mansion as a staff member to find evidence of his grandfather's wrongdoing, but he was recognized by Mrs. Xu's insight, and she wanted to match her to him, who was still the eldest girl by Mrs. Hou's side at that time. However, the Zhao family wanted to raise her as an aunt, but it was in vain for Mrs. Xu. However, if this marriage really happened at that time, Lian Jingqian would probably become the laughing stock of the capital. How can a dignified grandfather marry a maid?
So she looked at the Duchess of Ding'an, Jiang, and only felt embarrassed. Seeing her like this, the Jiang family smiled nonchalantly and said, "The eldest princess once had a kindness to the Ding'an Mansion, which should have been, and the county lord didn't have to worry about it. ”
Youen? Yiying was even more confused. However, I admire Jiang's mind very much, her husband brought a woman home in the middle of the night, if it is put on Zhao's body, I am afraid that I will want to peel the skin of the other party and cramp, where can I sit here and talk and laugh with people calmly? It seems that the rumors in the outside world that the Ding'an Duke and his wife have a deep love for the plaice are really true, and I heard that in the Guogong Mansion, except for the Jiang family, there is not even a concubine room.
She put her mind at ease and began to chat with the Jiang family, and after a few words, it was quite speculative. The two of them tacitly did not mention the reason why Yiying was soaked and embarrassed, and the Jiang family sent someone to invite Lian Jingqian, but he only asked the Jiang family to take good care of it on the grounds that it was inconvenient in the middle of the night, but did not come to visit. Yiying is more assured, and at the same time a little envious, a husband can be truly happy when he considers his wife's face like this, Xu Xian has never been so considerate and meticulous to any woman in the house, including her.
She stayed in the Ding'an Mansion for a few days, but she only felt that she was in a good mood and no longer had the miasma in the Hou Mansion. During this period, I didn't see Ding'an Gong much, so I asked Ding'an Gong about the Xue family through the Jiang family, and learned that my brother and father were fine, but they were robbed of the jade plate, and Ding'an Gong had already sent someone to send them to Yongping Mansion, and he was even more grateful. After recovering from her illness, she begged Ding'an Gong to send her to Yongping Mansion as well, and the other party readily agreed.
said that he was cured, but in fact, Yiying also knew in his heart that this disease might not be cured. Two years ago, I had a miscarriage that hurt my body, but I was happy with my family and my spirit was better, but it was impossible to conceive a child again. This turmoil not only made her body suffer from the cold, but also almost wiped out her will to live, her mother died, her husband was ruthless, and she now has the only idea of filial piety in front of her father. Injuries keep coming, it's just a matter of living one more day.
She took the carriage of the Lian family to the Zhuangzi of Yongping Mansion, but only her father was there, and she didn't see her brother. After careful questioning, I learned that my brother was dissatisfied with the affection of the saint and the prince, and quietly joined the army, preparing to take refuge in the third prince and make some military achievements, so that the Xue family could recover.
Yi Ying was silent, she knew in her heart that her brother had always wanted to join the martial arts, but the Xue family had been scholarly for generations, and the saints had rebelled, and they could not tolerate the people below to support the army and stand on their own, so the entire court was prevalent in emphasizing literature and ignoring martial arts, and it became more and more impossible for her brother to join the martial arts, and no one had mentioned this matter. But now that the Xue family is at the end of their rope, in this way, maybe it can really have some results.
Since the rebellion of the Dongyi people, the court has not been able to come up with a powerful military future, and the prince has always respected the saint and is not familiar with martial affairs, so he sent the three princes of the Yuan Dynasty to quell the rebellion.
This move hindered the prince's eyes. Although the crown prince is also the descendant of the current Queen of Song, he is also older than the third prince, but when the third prince was born, after all, the prince was only a concubine, and in terms of it, the prince is not as orthodox as the three princes, so although the three princes did not fight or grab in the past, they are still regarded as a thorn in the flesh. Yes, as soon as the three princes sent troops, rumors began to appear in the capital that the three princes intended to rebel under the deliberate promotion of the crown prince.
What the prince didn't expect was that the saint didn't hear about this rumor, and sent Lian Jingqian, the prince of Ding'an, who had always been good friends with the three princes, to assist.
Yiying was very surprised to hear that Ding'an Gong was sent to the battlefield, although he was very guilty about the matter of his ancestors and returned the Danshu iron coupon, but sending him to the battlefield was another kind of promotion, which is to believe in this person's ability.
Soon, the news of the death of the three princes and the Duke of Ding'an came from the front front. The prince was very happy, and after planning for a few more days, he immediately forced the palace and wanted to ascend the throne immediately. The enthronement ceremony was held for three days, but on the last day, there were major changes that shocked the government and the public.
It is rumored that the three princes and the Duke of Ding'an, who died in the battle, have actually come to the city. It turned out that the news not long ago was deliberately released by the three princes to confuse the prince, and at that time the Dongyi people had been defeated, and the three princes learned that the prince had some misdeeds and set up this bureau. Now that the prince's unfilial piety and rebellion have been decided, the three princes are the great heroes who repelled foreign enemies, and the people's hearts and forces are in the hands of the other party.
Although the saint is still there, he has been exhausted by this series of things, so he ordered that the Zen position be given to the three princes.
The three princes were in the dynasty, the great feudal heroes, the Ding'an Mansion, Xue Licheng of the Xue family, Zhou Ting of the Zhou family, and the Yan family and the Wei family who participated in the war all won the reward, and they became hot figures and families in the court.
Xue Licheng made a meritorious service, and the new emperor also knew that the old case of the Xue family was biased and unreasonable, and after ordering someone to investigate it in detail, he decided to let the Xue family recover. Xue's father was not in good spirits and did not want to be an official anymore, the eldest master of the second room of the Xue family, the third old man was reinstated, and the uncle and second master of the second room also resumed the fame of Jinshi and Juren, and the situation of the Xue family was very good. Most of the seized family property was also returned, and Yiying and Xue's father moved back to the Xue family.
The family is jubilant because of the things in the court, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the lights are everywhere, but Yiying's life is coming to an end.
After hearing the news that the third prince and the Duke of Ding'an died in battle a few days ago, his benefactor Lian Jingqian was sad on the one hand, and worried about his brother's safety on the other, plus the reason for the change of seasons, he fell ill unexpectedly.
I thought it was just ordinary typhoid fever, but after a few pills, I didn't see any improvement, but I became more sick. Several doctors have been changed, but the Xue family has not recovered at that time, and the people invited are only slightly famous folk doctors, and there is no big difference in exchange.
After holding on for these days, unexpectedly, the peaks and loops turned around, and such good news came. Yiying's face was a lot better, and she was able to get out of bed and walk, but Father Xue sighed again and again when he looked at it, and looked, it was more like a return to the light.
As soon as Xue Licheng heard about his sister's matter, he entered the palace and asked the new emperor for a doctor to bring him into the palace, but after delaying these days, the doctor had to shake his head and secretly persuade everyone in the Xue family to prepare for the future.
Xue Licheng secretly hated that he had delayed his sister when he came back, Yi Ying knew seven or eight points when he looked at his expression, and comforted him with a smile: "The plan of the third prince is not something that can be influenced by one person, you know my body, it's just a matter of time or time, my brother can make the Xue family recover, and he has already done the most amazing thing." ”
After another day, his face became worse again, and the imperial doctor secretly said, I'm afraid it's only a matter of a day or two.
At this time, Ding'an Gong came to visit, and he also brought a woman to see Yiying.
Yiying recognized the woman at a glance, it was Nanping. Her fingertips trembled, and she whispered Nanping's name.
Nanping looked up suddenly, his face was full of horror, and there was no trace of guilt. "Why?" she asked.
When Nanping heard this, he seemed to have enough confidence, "Why? It's because of you that I became what I am now." The marquis was disgusted with me, and on that day he drove me out of the house and gave me a butcher as a concubine, do you know what kind of life I have been living all day......" Her face was flushed, and her eyes were full of anger.
Yi Ying interrupted her, "What I'm asking is, why did you betray me that day?
Nanping said sharply: "You and I are both born as maids, regardless of your background, thanks to our sisters for so many years, you climbed the monkey master's bed, became an aunt, and asked me to serve you, do you think this is a gift? I tell you, in my eyes this is a great humiliation......
Yi Ying smiled, smiling desolate and resolute, "I think I did something angry and resentful to make a person who has called me my sister for many years betray me." It's just that you want to be your aunt and be the master, but do you think this is the result of my deliberate thinking? Hmph, it was the Zhao family who sent me up with her own hands, did you see how she treated me after she sent me up? Do you still want to become the master with this matter? Let me tell you, you have this idea, and after the matter is completed, you will be the first person to die!"
The more Nanping listened, the paler her face became, could it be that the eldest lady drove her out?
Yiying finished this long paragraph, and her strength was exhausted. ordered someone to take Nanping out, unwilling to look at her again. She thanked Lian Jingqian in a low voice: "Thank you Grandpa Guo for these things for me and the Xue family, I can see Nanping before I die, and explain things clearly, I have died without regrets, this kindness cannot be repaid, and I have to let the Xue family help me pay it back in the future." ”
Lian Jingqian stood there, smiled slightly, and said: "It's just a gesture, don't worry, I can have today, all thanks to the help of the eldest princess." ”
Yiying also smiled, she didn't have a chance to find out what her mother had helped Ding'an, but in the last period of her life, she was really blessed to meet Ding'angong and his wife. She also hopes that the couple has been living in harmony and growing old like this, which can be regarded as the realization of her unfulfilled wish.
It seemed a little regrettable, she thought, but she was a little tired, so she closed her eyes.
